looks nice. My dad is building a capri, and to clean all of the black plastic like around the fan, he used brake cleaner, it worked good.

 

i have been trying things like armor all and windex on random surfaces and the armor all did alright on the black plastic but i cant get it to shine enough...i think i have some brake cleaner in my garage...ill give it a try

 

A few weeks after I bought the car:

What she looks like with a clean bay and swapped in motor:

 

An added bonus:

Just bought this 89 GXL and have some nice cleaning to look forward to....

 

Btw, I used Purple Power on all my surfaces for my cleaning in second pic. Only bad thing I have to say about it is that I still have to go back and clean teh big black air pipe comign fromteh throttle body to the air cleaner, and that you cant let it dry at all or bad things will happen(not sure on that but the stuff is was strong wnough to cut through years a grunge after a gallon and a pressurewasher).
